The 2026 Kwik Fit ^[1] British Touring Car Championship (commonly abbreviated as BTCC) was a motor racing championship for production-based touring cars held across England and Scotland. The championship features a mix of professional motor racing teams and privately funded amateur drivers competing in highly modified versions of family cars which are sold to the general public and conform to the technical regulations for the championship. It is the 69th British Touring Car Championship season, and the 16th season for cars conforming to the Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) technical specification.

This is the second season using 100% renewable fuels, with the hybrid boost having been removed and replaced with turbo boost. While the amount of power boost stayed the same, the weight will be reduced by 55 kg (121 lb). In another change to the 2026 season will introduce qualifying races for all cars on the Saturday afternoon of each race weekend. ^{[2] [3]}

Outgoing champion Tom Ingram finished second in the Drivers' Championship behind rival Sutton, by 129 points.

Dan Cammish finished third Drivers' Championship, 144 points behind teammate, Sutton.
